Thank you for your support. I don't like to indulge in pity parties however small, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I am still playing catch up with my life after the past year and at this moment, I don't handle pressure as well as I used to handle it.
I am sure I will get that back but being nagged because I did not jump to fast enough was irritating beyond belief. I have a large extended family and no less than three called that week to ask a favour. I have a unique skill set that they all want - and heaven forbid if I wasn't around they would actually have to pay someone to do what I do.
You both described so well how I feel. And I am not surprised to see that strong ladies such as yourselves have experienced similar things.
I don't have to tell you that it isn't that we mind helping - it's the cavelier treatment of the people who are asking. Worse if they are family because they are harder to boot out and avoid.
Job, I don't know if Skippy will contact me again. Probably, I guess. I am not really sure I care, touch and go, touch and go. Maybe put more accurately, if he does not get in touch, I won't be all that fussed. I have been living without him for a long time now and taking care of myself. Marking the time between contacts has become more an afterthought.
Thank you for the compliment. If I can't soar figuratively, I at least intend to soar literally - I am trying to decide where my next travels will take me. A place far, far away!
